Online Course Delivery
The masters degree program can be completed entirely online, but there are courses that require mandatory synchronous meetings via virtual meetings and video conferencing software.
Most C&I masters online classes have synchronous meetings via Zoom to maximize the effectiveness of teaching and learning; those classes may or may not require attendance at synchronous sessions as a part of the course grade. If such courses have mandatory synchronous meetings, they are noted at the time of registration (so you will know before signing up).
